WilcoOfTheDay Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I don't know how else to say this but this is NEAT! How do people come up with these great ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Similar to the Blogotheque (I think?), no? Still, always great to see artists in a new light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
insideoutoflove Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Similar to the Blogotheque (I think?), no? Still, always great to see artists in a new light.I googled that, really cool stuff! it is somewhat similar. here's the link to all of them: http://www.blogotheque.net/spip.php?page=cae_all&lang=en i love hearing these stripped down versions of the songs, so beautiful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdpoet Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Did a search on this topic before posting and came up with nothing, so thought I would put this out here. Interesting aspect of a performance as the musicians perform in a cab. MMJ and Bon Iver are well worth watching and so many others. http://www.blackcabsessions.com/sessions.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah, the Fleet Foxes one is quite awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some great performances from all types of bands. check it out. (sorry if this was posted already) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Griddles Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I do not know if this has shown up here before, (I searched but not very hard) but I just found the "http://www.blackcabsessions.com/" and think they are great. Especially the one with Brian Wilson and The National's one is good as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 the mmj one was fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Frank Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Not sure if people are aware of this little gem of a website. I discovered it last night. The premise is..... artists that you and I all like perform a song in the back of a Black Cab, usually in London, with an introduction by the cabbie. There are some really nice performances. Check out My Morning Jacket, Kurt Wagner, Micah P. Hinson and Bon Iver amongst others. There's also a disturbing but facinating performance but Mr. Daniel Johnston. http://www.blackcabsessions.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yes we have talked about this before here at VC (merged!) but it's always nice to get a reminder to check it out again and see what's new. Thanks for the nudge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the nudge!Sorry!! Couldn't find a previous thread. Anyway, worth looking at again as there are plenty more sessions, notably the Lambchop one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.lo Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 very cool."I summon you" by Britt (Spoon) is my favorite version of that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turnips Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 check the Doves one, it's fantastic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okp greg Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 So when is Polyphonic Spree doing one? Ha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 i enjoy the micah p hinson one because his voice is awesome, and you wouldn't think a voice like that would come from a dude like him. i've got my laptop hooked up to my surround sound listening to music, and the car noises from the cab are making my dog crazy! So when is Polyphonic Spree doing one? Ha. then it would be called the black vw bus sessions! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
